Our Graduate Program

With some 160 graduate students and nearly 60 faculty members, the Department of History is home to one of the oldest, most distinguished, and most comprehensive graduate programs in the U.S., renowned for its long and valued tradition of collegiality and openness. Joining our ranks this year are the faculty and graduate students in the former Department of History of Science, Medicine, and Technology, one of the broadest, most prestigious academic programs of its kind in the United States. All told, our internationally recognized faculty has been mentoring distinguished historians since 1893.

Critical to our success over the years has been the invaluable support of our alumni, the Department of History’s Board of Visitors, and many generous donors. We are especially indebted to the George L. Mosse Program in History , Program Manager emeritus John Tortorici, and current Program Manager Skye Doney. The Mosse Program’s generosity benefits our graduate students in a multitude of ways.
